[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) has created a "Street of Light" with colorful illuminations along major streets in the district, around the 22 neighborhood community centers, and in front of the district office to celebrate the year-end season.

First, each neighborhood community center decorated its streets with lighting that highlights its unique characteristics. Samsung 2-dong adorned the street near Samsung Jungang Station with 300 "wish lanterns" made by residents themselves. In Sinsa-dong Garosu-gil, Apgujeong-dong Rodeo Street, and Cheongdam-dong Taste Street, chandelier LED lights were installed on street lamps to create a romantic atmosphere.

Milky Way lights twinkle between trees near heavily trafficked areas such as Gangnam Station, Yeoksam Station, Seolleung Station, and major intersections on Teheran-ro. A total of 312 flower beds and street trees were decorated with bulbs and ball lights to evoke a festive year-end mood.

The district held a lighting ceremony on the 7th in front of the district office. Along with a large tree, the dazzling light decorations and various sculptures provide a visual spectacle. Notably, the main entrance features the artwork "Bear Balloon" by artist Lim Ji-bin, offering a photo zone for visitors to the district office.

Jeong Soon-gyun, Mayor of Gangnam-gu, said, "I hope this will be a time to relieve the fatigue accumulated throughout the year and to heal," adding, "In 2022, we will continue to bring cultural and artistic programs loved by residents, such as the 'Media Gallery,' 'Trot Festa,' and 'Ontact G★K-POP.'"
